Vinyl Banners

We can also produce banners on mesh material, which is predominantly used for large banners where it's important that air be allowed to flow through the banner stopping the 'sail effect'. We use a premium coated mesh material that will allow the air to flow through whilst still having enough closed consistency to show print without losing vibrancy. Our mesh banners are printed in high-quality full-colour with fade-proof ecosolvent inks and are M1/B1 Fire Rated to comply with UK and European Fire Safety Standards.
We can produce your banners to any height and width, just ask for more information or a quote. We have samples to view, just call in and compare with others you may have seen around, we are sure you will agree the quality is second to none!

These display units come with their own carry case, which makes transport to trade-shows and other events/locations easy. They are available with straight or curved options with graphics which are printed on to lightblock material, a superb opaque material that is semi-rigid and designed for repeated use. The material is very durable and protects against minor damage such as scratches and scuffs.
The Podium Pack is an option designed to make use of the carry case that is supplied with the Pop-Up Exhibition display. This turns the carry case into a podium by providing a graphic to be wrapped around and a wooden counter that sits on top. The graphic is printed on the same material as the Pop-Up display, so you know it offers the same quality and durability.
Pop-Up Counter
The Pop-Up counter is great when you need something that provides both a work surface and storage. Larger than the counter provided with the Podium Pack, the Pop-Up Counter gives you that little bit extra in terms of look and functionality. Comes complete with a graphic carry case to help protect your print during transport. Size: 1372mm (W) × 907mm (H) × 530mm (D)
